Carrot and Zucchini Muffins
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing a single muffin cup or using a paper liner.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Stir in the grated zucchini and carrot until they are well distributed throughout the mixture.
-
In another small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffin light and fluffy.
-
If using, fold in raisins or chopped nuts.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cup. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.
-
Let the muffin cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Note
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey.
- Feel free to add nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
- These muffins can be frozen and reheated for a quick snack or breakfast on the go.
